REFLECTION QUESTION
Wildlife Use Reusable Bags

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

Mitchell Modzel 4/08/2020 8:31 AM

Stores can charge money to use their disposable bags, but things I like to do to remind myself that I have bags is to keep my reusable bags near my door so I see them when I walk you to go shopping so that I don't forget them.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Fresh Water Use a Reusable Water Bottle

Using the links provided, investigate the bottling practices of water corporations. There have been many cases where the water rights of the local people have been violated or even completely disregarded when a corporation decides to bottle water from a particular water source. How can you advocate for those who have been harmed - both humans and wildlife - by this bottling process?

Mitchell Modzel 4/08/2020 8:30 AM

I think one of the best ways to advocate is with your money. Make it so that there isn't a market for those product.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Action Track: Building Resilience Connect While Social Distancing

How does connecting with others help your own mental and emotional health? How can it help support others?

Mitchell Modzel 4/08/2020 8:29 AM

Humans are social creatures so it makes sense we need to talk with other people. I find video calls are the best because you can actually see the other person.
